Who We Are?
EmpowerED Advocates is committed to early diagnosis, personalized interventions, and long-term success for children ages 2-12. We help families navigate the special education system by ensuring students receive the right support, accommodations, and resources.
The Problem We Solve
Children with disabilities are often diagnosed too late, delaying the interventions that can set them up for success. Research shows that early diagnosis and consistent, specialized support help close learning gaps and prepare students for independence and career integration.
Services
EmpowerED Advocates provides professional, culturally responsive educational advocacy and support services for families of children with disabilities. We specialize in both early childhood and school-aged advocacy across the Washington, DC metro area.
Serving Families from the Start—and Every Step After
We proudly support:
- Preschoolers and early intervention (ages 0–5)
- Elementary & school-age children (K–6)
- Families from BIPOC and underserved communities
- Children with suspected or diagnosed disabilities, including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and developmental delays
The EmpowerED Advocates Process: 4 Simple Steps
01
Connect
📞
Schedule a free consultation.
We start by listening. You’ll tell us about your child, your concerns, and what support you need. Whether it's early intervention, IEP/504 planning, or observations—we meet you where you are.
02
Assess
📋 We review your child’s needs, documents, and environment.
Our team conducts a deep dive: we review evaluations, observe at home or school if needed, and identify strengths and gaps. We create a tailored support strategy—no cookie-cutter plans.
03
Advocate
🗣️ We stand by you at every meeting.
From school meetings to evaluations, we advocate beside you—not in place of you. We speak up when needed, help write SMART goals, and ensure your voice is heard and respected in the room.
04
Empower
🌱 You leave with tools, confidence, and a partner for the journey.
We don’t just fix problems—we build capacity. You’ll gain knowledge, clarity, and a partner who checks in, tracks progress, and celebrates every win along the way.
